Rytha started out well with the Class of 1915, but found that she couldn’t keep up with 1915—so by attending summer school she graduates with the Class of 1914. Three years for college with honors is doing pretty well.

History of the Class of 1914 OFFICERS: President, H. N. Rradstreet Vice-President, Miss Maud McPherson Secretary, Miss Grace Wooddell. The members of the Class of 1914 are but seven in number. However, they find consolation in the happy thought that quality, rather than quantity, counts. What, indeed, has this class done to warrant the aforesaid boast? Four of our intellectual lights stand on the Honor Roll, and we have a Rhodes Scholarship appointee. So much for the books. In activities non-academic, a football manager and two football “A” men, one the 1912 captain. Again, five members of the 1913-14 Life staff, including the Editor. And last but not least, our three girl members are active workers in the girls’ organizations of the school, the Wranglers and the Woman’s League. The personnel of the Class of 1914 makes it an Arizona class through and through. In truth, three of its members have received their education in toto in Tucson, and all have done their entire college work at the U. of A. It is to be expected that in a few years the industrial and educational worlds will be completely revised and started off on new tracks by the efforts of the members of the illustrious class of 1914. And here we take our leave, with best wishes to Faculty, students, Mess Hall, and the rest of U. of A. college life. f
